The Bi-centenial of the Battle of Longwoods 4th March 1814

On the 4th of March 1814, British, Canadian, First Nations, and forces of the United States met in battle by a quiet stream in Upper Canada (Ontario) at a place called Longwoods. As the sun started to set the British forces commenced their attack against the Americans who where dug in on high ground. The resulting battle was an American tactical victory but still forced American forces to pull back to Fort Detroit while the British retreated back to their base at Delaware. So started the final moves between British and American forces in the last year of the War of 1812-1814.
